Does the idea of tossing a kangaroo steak on the grill upset you? How about a tender cut of australus?
A food magazine’s hunt for a new name for kangaroo meat — aimed at putting a spring in the step of efforts to sell the product — has a winner, media reported Tuesday.
Before settling on australus, judges skipped over suggestions including “kangarly,” “maroo,” and “kangasaurus.”
Yes, this is the contest we noted in mid-November. “Australus”? Sounds like something left over from a biology course.
How about rOOgle, to give it the proper gOOgle new economy branding vibe? There could be a Big Roo and McRoogles serving search fries.
Give all the food away and put little word ads all over the packaging.
Signage? Let’s see!

So they were looking for a term like Beef, Pork, etc… why not go with Roo?
Simple and not stupid.
